So maybe the recording was from Texas Camp. I just thought maybe it was Louisiana since that's where he was from.

I guess he was quite a man of God. I have the DVD of his funeral and have read a biography of him written by Sis. Nona Freeman.

I have told how God healed my paternal grandmother of typhoid fever when she
was yet a Methodist. She read God's Word. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing
by the Word of God. After she received the Holy Ghost in the mid-30's she trusted
God for her healing and that of her children while they were still in the home.

Our late father and mother both trusted God for everything in their home for the
52 yrs. they were married. Dad went to be with the Lord 20 days after their 52nd
anniversary. He trusted God to keep him on the front lines of battle in the Phillipeans
and in Japan. God brought him back home safely to (with Mom) raise 11 eleven
children. The first sibling went home to be with the Lord last Sept. Ten remain. We
saw their faith. It wasn't something they bragged openly about. They lived it day by
day. They gave God glory for the many times HE healed their bodies and those of
their children. I thank God for the example of trusting God for all their needs.

Today because of that early training and example of trusting God, I have faith that
regardless of my needs, I know THE GOD who is able to do exceeding abundantly
above all we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. Bless His Holy
Name! Thank You, Lord Jesus!

Bro. Sam,

It could have been from either Louisiana or Texas as he preached
at both camps and prayed for the sick.

I have been healed many times after having been prayed for by "Oneness" preachers. I give God the glory. Thank you Jesus, Amen!

God seems to respond mercifully to a person's faith whether the person is trinity or oneness.

This is true Sam, my mom's best friend was AOG and I have also been healed after being prayed for by her. I the gist of this thread is about the great "healing" ministries not being oneness such as Allen, Coe, etc. Just wanted to let everyone know there were miracles performed under "Oneness" ministries also.

There were men used in praying for the sick and saw great miracles and healings during in Oneness churches during those times the difference was they did NOT promote themsleves.

Where are these specialized "ministries" in the bible? I never see "healing campaigns" in the bible. They went out and preached the gospel. Do they talk about "my ministry" in the bible?

I think this hits the nail squarely on the head. The "Healing Evangelists" of the 40's and 50's emphasized HEALING. Salvation, it seems, was a "secondary issue". They used healing to draw people to the meetings. Advertisments boldly declared "The Blind See!". "The Lame Walk!". While altar calls were given and souls were saved in these meetings, the "thrust" (and the drawing card) was HEALING and deliverance. Oneness preachers of the day emphasized SALVATION (Acts 2:28), and didn't place alot of emphasis on healing.

Doctrinal unity was also instumental in allowing these healing evangelists to hold big "union meetings"- they weren't as divided over doctrine as Oneness preachers were, and remain to this day. In fact- doctrine was downplayed in these meeting- while, Oneness preachers have always keep Doctrine on the front burner. And, in addition, Oneness preachers were more loyal to the respective organizations. When the Assemblies of God made moves to "reign in" Bro. A.A. Allen, Bother Jack Coe and others, they simply left those organizations and formed independent ministries and/or organizations. This allowed them the freedom to make claims of successes that could only be described as "questionable". The oneness preachers stayed within their organizations out of loyalty or perhaps, they simply didn't have anywhere else to go. An independent Oneness ministry had no chance of growth, so the ministers worked within the framework of their respective organizations. Unity was never high on the agenda of Oneness groups. I just wonder how many Jesus Name organizations were in existence in the 40's and 50's. The competition among these groups must have been high and this kept them from being able to work together. No Oneness ministry could achieve any notoriety because Oneness groups simply could not, or would not, work together. Bro. Branham, the closet thing to a Oneness preacher "on the sawdust trail", could only do so by becoming "semi-oneness" and "semi-trinitarian". He was known to have said several times, that he stood between the two and tried to reach out to both. This commendable action put him in the precarious position of being rejected by both groups. And this is what led to his desperate attempt to regain a "following" by adopting doctrines that only furthered his isolation.

There were Oneness preachers on the "sawdust trail" then, but because they found it necessary to work within their respective organizations, and were constrained to do so, they were never able to reach the level of renown as men like Allen, Coe, Roberts and Osborn. These men had the financial resources to reach the masses and used any and every available means to do so...including television. Television was never an option among Oneness preachers. I'd say the use of radio to broadcast the Gospel was denounced by many in those early days.

The brother referred to the Healing Movement as "the last great revival in America". I disagree. I believe there is one more move of God to sweep across America and around the world.

OneAccord... great post. thanks for your thoughts...

We must remember that Jesus used the same tactics in his meetings.. He used the miracles to draw the crowds.. so I see that they simply followed the pattern of Jesus in their evangelistic work.

I disagree that there will ever be another worldwide or nationwide revival.. I believe the last revival is the Brides Revival of the pure Word of God
